Leggings In Lieu of Payment

According to Perez Hilton, Lindsay Lohan’s reps are casting models to advertise Lindsay’s new leggings line.  The casting notice, which purports to pay models with “trade,” reads:

Casting for Models for Look book Shoot- Looking for diverse, multi-cultural, mixed races, an “off beauty” is good as well as “beautiful”..  No Blondes please.

CASTING FOR: The Look Book Shoot for 6126 - a new contemporary collection of leggings designed by Lindsay Lohan

RATE: trade
DATE of SHOOT: May 9th 6am call time in Los Feliz (address TBC)

Please do not send models to the casting unless they are available for shoot and call time and they agree to trade terms.

Although it may be commonplace for people to work for free in the modeling and entertainment industry, it doesn’t mean it’s legal.  With very limited exceptions, every employee must be paid at least minimum wage for all hours worked…and leggings don’t count!
